Well, I´ve got no DTD yet, but I estimate about 10 elements each with up to
20 characters content. The problem is that the data is delivered only once a
month. So we will get one big XML-Document with all the datasets (Could be
once a day as well). I think, SOAP is not designed for few transactions with
mass data, or not? But I need an envelope for the data? Is there an
alternative?

Regards and thanks for your help.
